Living Colour's third album—and first with bassist Doug Wimbush—was nearly the band’s last, as they broke up after its tour. And while they managed to reunite a decade later, with a new album, this one was out of print for yet another decade over legal issues. So, it’s not been smooth sailing for a record that was darker, harder and more intense than their previous output, garnering many negative reviews along the way.
A challenging listen indeed, but a rewarding one depending on your frame of mind and willingness to experience both the album and the band in a new light.
Released March 2, 1993.
